- To understand the impact of explanations on decision making when using a KBS, several dimensions must be considered.
- While other effects beyond the scope of this study may occur, the effects of particular interest in the current study are the bolded items in Figure 1.
- Dhaliwal and Benbasat (1996) provide the original theoretical basis for integrating feedforward/feedback modes with different explanation types.
- Arnold et al. (2004a) expand on these six forms of explanation to include the other two combinations: feedforward/definition and feedback/ definition.
- The model presented in Figure 1 aligns closely with the theory provided by Gregor and Benbasat (1999), particularly with the following propositions:
- The key is to examine these propositions within the context of a decision-making scenario where the behavior of the decision maker can be observed while working in a cooperative problem solving mode with the system.
- This expected effect on novices is consistent with the theory of technology dominance (Arnold and Sutton 1998), which posits that novices who have a limited capability to make a judgment within a given domain will be highly likely to rely on the recommendations of a KBS with or without explanations.
- The theory implies that the KBS, rather than the user, dominates the decision-making process.
- The theory posits that a KBS will influence an expert’s decision, but an expert may not adhere to the recommendations of the aid.
- Evidence of such novice and expert behavior has been found in recent studies (Arnold et al. 2004b; Masselli et al. 2002; Noga and Arnold 2002).
- This leads to the first hypothesis.
- KBS users will be more likely to adhere to the recommendation of a KBS when explanations are provided.
- Several factors that appear to impact explanation preferences and use are also likely to affect decision making outcomes.
- Subsequently, Mao and Benbasat (2000) focused on expert versus novice differences in using and processing explanations.
- They anticipated that the substantial differences in cognitive structures and processes used by experts versus novices would carry over to use of a KBS.
- Their results confirmed their expectation that novice users focused heavily on explanations that aided in understanding the reasoning process.
- A major theoretical contribution of their work was that domain expertise could influence explanation use.
- Multiple dimensions can explain the differences between novice and expert users.
- A feedforward explanation is described as declarative because it provides an explanation about how inputs to a KBS are used in terms of relevant information cues and their relationships.
- Conversely, a feedback explanation is tailored to describe processing in terms of
